An Ordinarily Perfect Day

Our definition of a "perfect" day often changes, depending on the time of year, our current circumstance and the season of life we are in. After a month's worth of busy schedules and a week's worth of sickness...our "perfect" day consisted of NO plans, NO agenda, GOOD health and family downtime, and Saturday was our day!

(minus mommy's meltdown). Here are random glimpses of our day.

The kids agenda: Toys-R-Us! (a real treat. they only go there once or twice a year. my idea would have been the dollar store or target)Darcy's agenda: Family Christian Book storeMy agenda: (quick stop at) Partridge Creek

All three were quickly accomplished before the kids were eager to get home and play with their newly selected toys

(Brayden: Ben 10 Alien Maker;

Brooke: Tinkerbell dress (with missing wings she never knew existed)

Tea Time"WAR" time What a great hostess!Thank you darling, you are such a lady! Brooke's got the camera! (can you tell?) Not so ladylike but having fun being "3"

Hungry Hungry Hippos

a little intermission break to talk to grandpa and grandma

tunnel time

With everyone recovering from sicknesses, we needed to lay low...no gym, no heavy running around and playing...just taking it easy at home.

I love Hungry Hungry Hippo! What a beautiful day you had with your family, in the safety of your home which is filled with so much love. Those are some of my favorite days and yet they are far and few between. Instead I always feel the need to being doing "stuff" or out and about, leaving me sometimes feeling exhausted. Thanks for sharing your day and reminding me to take those days more often!
